The car doesn't have a vinyl top, no chrome trim or pins where it might have been in the back. I'm taking it back to the stock Dover White with the SS hood, Chrome "gills", rain gutter stainless, wheel opening stainless, Black rockers and side striping it had. No rear spoiler. Some one asked how many fuel lines it has? It has two. It had a blacked out tailpanel when I bought it in 87 along with a very tired (flat cam) 396/TH400. Poked in a cam and lifters and drove it until 5&7 put a hole in the block on their way out....it had the front springs replaced sometime prior to me because it sat level when I got it and when I put a 350 in it as a driver, it sat up in the nose. Everything I've found has said this car rolled out of the factory as a SS350/TH350 car with a nice interior package. The kid I bought it from wasn't very mechanically savvy and had only owned it a couple months before I bought it. Cam had gone flat on him, I got it for $600. That tells me owner #1 or #2 did the BBC swap for Lord knows what reason as its an A/C car and that would have been a pain. Someone asked about the rear end tag, I'll roll under it and see if it's there...I've never looked for it.

Here's the tag...a little crusty but readable.
ST69 12437 NOR257254BDY
TR722          50 50 PNT
    02A               X11

I've got a 69 Camaro that codes out as a SS350 has the X11 call out on the tag. Front power discs, quick ratio power steering,front sway bar, 12 Bolt 3.08:1 rear, 5 leaf spring pack, A/C car. Car is White with an SS hood, no rear spoiler,black side stripes and black rockers. Interior call out is green.  My questions are
 1) Did Chevy "tu-tone" interiors? The carpet, kick panels, dash pad and carpet on the door lowers is green. My steering column is green. The rest of my interior, door panels, headliner, sail panels, package tray and seats are Black with hounds tooth inserts. I also appear to have bucket rear seating with shoulder belts (the seat bottoms are two piece with carpet exposed between them)
2) Where does a guy find replacement "woodgrain" as my dash has it across the entire dash and the piece by the passenger side has started to rust.
3)The tail panel on this car has been blacked out. Was this legit?Or someone with a rattle can thought it was cool? I got the car with a 396 "dealer replacement" engine (per block #) and a short shaft TH400 with no tag. The guy I bought if from purchased it from owner #2 with it in it and had been told "all big block cars had the panel blacked out" ......mine being a SS350 I'm doubtful its factory. 
Any help is greatly appreciated
